c. The combination of these electrical switches controls the electrical supply to the A/C clutch and the blower switch.
2. Blower switch - an electrical switch that provides four speeds of blower operation.
3. The temperature control knob - which controls the position of the electric blend door actuator mounted on the evaporator assembly.
